OK so when did GFY go social ????
 

First Iv seen the little social buttons under posts ..when did this happen ?

In the last 24 hours.

Adapt or die.

ah right ..well thats the end of GFY as we know it....

So we can post these threads to the social networks, but people can't read shit unless they're signed up and already members of GFY?

yes quite true

2001, but they just released it for everone thats not a red nickname ;)

share with your gfy friends only :)

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh yep thats true as well :helpme

I will remain unsocial...

spoilsport .....we could be social together :Graucho

I did not notice it until I read this post...

missing linkedin, would be good to have on there as well

So that way the GFY cyber stalkers could have a field day.
:2 cents:

So will I, at least over the internets :2 cents:

Me sez, "Oh, horseshit!". Marketing is marketing, social networks are good marketing and good marketing makes us all $. You ought to be on your KNEES before ADMIN!

Take me in your arms, you big english man...

A message board, such as GFY - "IS" a Social Networking Site, it's as Going Social as it gets, heck the bbs started the social Internet.

While I agree having them on the locked forums (unless the bot is allowed in) is a bit funny. It really is a more about promotion, really no different than me sharing a GFY URL with some friends on ICQ (which bump posts, cause friends do that on social sites). While on ICQ I know they read GFY, on a site like Twitter you could have a following of industry people and so could they, that may or may not know about gfy or forgotten about it, they could share it too and grow the viewing.

If you promote a hot topic to your social group, it could lead to more qualified readers here that are forced to signup rather than just hover and go. Outside of that, not all forums are locked from view, allowing you to easily socialize your links and give you backlinks to your post, which helps give it value as a backlink to your sites. Friends do like to share things a bit more than a bunch of strangers that some bot snagged for you.

I do find it funny that we're on a social networking site, knocking social networking sites, hehe :)

I thought you said SoCal:winkwink:

Early 1971.

It's just a VB plug-in I've seen it on a bunch of different forums.
